Installation of Tank Temperature Sensor and/or Aquastat
1. Install reducing coupling (included in
Connection Fitting Package). Use
approved pipe sealant.
2. Install sensor well using sealant.
Where Vitotronic 200 or 300 is utilized
to control DHW production:
3. Insert DHW tank temperature sensor
(supplied with Vitotronic 200 or 300)
fully and completely into sensor well.
Due to the length of the stainless steel
well (8.7” / 220 mm), care must be taken
to ensure that the sensing bulb of the
aquastat limit is inserted and pushed to
the end of the stainless steel well.
Where a Vitotronic 100 and a
Viessmann Power/Pump Control Module
are utilized to control DHW production:
3. Insert the extended capillary of the
aquastat (supplied with Viessmann
Power/Pump Control Module, not
illustrated) fully and completely into
sensor well. Mount aquastat
inconspicuously on tank panelling.
Follow instructions below with regard
to sensor and spring clip installation.
... if aquastat is to be mounted remote
from the aquastat well:
4. Align sensor bulb with spring clip.
5. Slide assembly into well.
6. The retention spring clip must press
the bulb properly to ensure surface
contact with the well.
... if aquastat is to be mounted directly
on the tank well:
7. Mount aquastat with holding clip
supplied directly onto well. Bend
capillary tube into groove opening to
allow for mounting of aquastat.
5167 514 v1.1
1.
2.
To ensure optimum, safe operation,
the supplied stainless steel well must
be installed. The well diameter is
large enough to accommodate a wide
variety of sensing bulbs.
Always use spring clip to ensure
proper contact of capillary bulb
against the stainless steel well for
proper sensing/heat transfer!

2. Insulate DHW pipe connections.
Dishwashers and washing machines can
be connected to central domestic hot
water supply. Washing machines must be
supplied with a separate domestic cold
and hot water connection. Through water
supply directly from the DHW tank,
heat-up time for water in the dishwasher
or washing machine is reduced.
This saves time, energy and reduces
costs.
Please note recommendations by the
manufacturer.

Please note that only the boiler/tank
combinations stated in the Price List are

Backflow preventers
Where backflow preventers are required, a
domestic water expansion tank installation
is recommended in the cold water inlet
piping before the cold water enters the
Vitocell. For the backflow device, observe
local plumbing codes and regulations.
Temperature and pressure
relief valve
A temperature and pressure relief valve
(T&P relief valve) is supplied with the tank.
The heating contractor must install the valve
on each tank in a method meeting code
requirements.
If local codes require a different relief valve,
consult Viessmann Manufacturing for a
substitute valve. The tank is approved for
150 psig. Maximum operating pressure is
150 psig.
The T&P relief valve supplied with the tank
is manufactured by Watts Industries (Model
40XL-8), set to 150 psig for US and
Canadian installations. The valve is ASME
pressure steam rated for 998 MBH and CSA
temperature steam rated for 200 MBH. It is
tested under ANSI Z21.22 code for Relief
Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices
for Hot Water Supply Systems. The relief
temperature is set at 210°F / 99°C. The
valve has a male threaded inlet and female
threaded outlet, both ¾” sizes.
Since the heat exchanger coil allows for
high MBH input (see Vitocell flow charts),
confirmation that the appropriate and
correct size pressure and temperature relief
valve is used and installed, is necessary.
Warranty
Our warranty for domestic hot water tanks
states that the water heated must be of
drinking water quality and that any water
treatment equipment in use must function
correctly.
Viessmann accepts no responsibility for
damage howsoever caused and reserves the
right to withdraw the product warranty if
the product has been improperly installed or
misapplied by the installer, contractor or
final user. In order to qualify for product
warranty, strict adherence to the installation
and service manuals must be observed. In
the event that Viessmann non-approved
components are utilized, Viessmann
reserves the right to withdraw all expressed
or implied warranties without written notice.
The water to be heated with the Vitocell
must be drinking (potable) water quality. If
the tank is used to heat other media, the
warranty will be null and void. Damage
resulting from excessive pressure or
temperature is clearly not the responsibility
of Viessmann.
The amount of chloride and sulfate
acceptable to the tank is limited. In areas
where high concentrations of chloride and
sulfate are present in drinking water, please
consult Viessmann for directions.
5167 514 v1.1
To ensure optimum, safe operation,
the supplied stainless steel well must
be installed. The well diameter is
large enough to accommodate a wide
variety of sensing bulbs.
Always use spring clip to ensure
proper contact of capillary bulb
against the stainless steel well for
proper sensing/heat transfer!
WARNING
IMPORTANT
The heating contractor must ensure
the T&P relief valve is sized correctly.
If the factory supplied T&P relief
valve is too small, it must be
upgraded in the field by installing an
adequately sized valve.
